It was a pretty good week.

Built to Spill came through Virginia on tour. I grew up with a lot of those guys. I hooked up with them for their shows at Richmond and DC. It was was cool seeing both clubs packed. Seeing their fans singing along with the music so loud you could hear it above the band. I was very proud of...

Long time since I last posted. Here are the basics:

I am no longer infatuated with my friend Tracey. I am still living in VA.

Current stuff:
I am excited because my daughter is coming out to visit and stay for a week. We will run up to Connecticut to see my cousin Rick and his wife and kids. After two days there we will...

I am heading back to VA after the x-mas holiday in Boise, ID. I had a great week hanging out with my daughter and visiting with mi familia. To cap it all off my band had a record release show Dec 28th. We played well and I managed to not get too drunk before we got on stage. We had a good turn out and...

It's been awhile since I last posted. Right now I am living in Manassas VA. I am here for work. I will be here for two years. So far it's been alright. It's tough being away from my heart (family/daughter).

My band is still together. We will stay together until our CD comes out, then who knows.

I fly home every couple of months for...

Doug (friend who is recording our stuff) is going to be out of town for the next two weeks working on his bands next recording (Built to Spill). Doug offered us some opening slots for next summer. That would be cool

TSOL show was cool. There were three metal bands playing the show so the whole cookie monster vocal thing got a little old after a awhile. The TSOL guys were great and I had a good time hanging out with them....

Good news! We got the opening slot for the TSOL show on Sept 10th! Turns out Glenn wants to do the show so we don't have to figure out the drummer question.

I am up for a promotion at work. Well, it's actually another job but it should mean more money in the near future. I have been telling people I don't really care if...

So I finally talked with Glenn today. Glenn is the drummer for my band. He bruised his ribs last week skateboarding and said he could not practice this week.

Then he said that he was done playing in the band.

This sucks.

Glenn was a great drummer. I called the other guys and let them know. We all decided that we would keep the band...

We (Magnetics) played at the Neurolux this past Wednesday. Our drummer got pissed because of people leaving while we were playing. This is nothing new. (Boise is notorious for poor crowd interaction) But this time he took it personal and quit playing after 8 songs. I felt bad for him. This band project was supposed to be a fun thing. He wasn't having any fun...

ugh.......sooo hungover....but I got to hang out with a beuatiful girl all night and I didn't blow a ton of money. I am so proud of myself!....

The Magnetics are in the studio recording what will hopefully be our second CD. It is not going to be as big sounding as the last one (we are doing it on the cheap) but so far it has been a hell of a lot more fun....
